About Archaea Energy Inc.

Archaea Energy Inc. (ticker: LFG) was a U.S.-based clean-energy company focused on renewable natural gas (RNG). Before being acquired, it was listed on the NYSE in the United States and positioned itself as a developer and operator of biogas-to-RNG infrastructure. Its core business was to capture biogas generated from organic waste decomposition, upgrade that gas through processing systems, and deliver low-carbon fuel for transportation and other energy applications. In practical terms, Archaea operated at the intersection of waste management, gas processing, and decarbonization infrastructure. ([bp.com](https://www.bp.com/en_us/united-states/home/what-we-do/production-and-operations/archaea-energy.html?utm_source=openai)) The company’s history is tied to a business combination completed in 2021, after which it pursued an aggressive buildout of RNG assets in the United States. Archaea was headquartered in Houston, Texas, a location that suited its heavy exposure to the U.S. energy and gas ecosystem. Its public-market identity on the NYSE reflected its status as a listed American energy transition company, although its shares ceased trading after bp completed the acquisition in December 2022. ([bp.com](https://www.bp.com/en/global/corporate/news-and-insights/press-releases/bp-completes-acquisition-of-archaea-energy.html?utm_source=openai)) From a competitive standpoint, Archaea stood out for scale, specialization, and execution capability. bp described it as the largest renewable natural gas producer in the U.S., an important endorsement that highlights the company’s operating footprint and strategic value. Archaea’s competitive edge came from a modular project design approach, long-term partnerships with landfill operators and other waste generators, and a development pipeline that supported repeatable deployment. Its key products and services were therefore RNG, landfill-gas capture, biogas upgrading, and related low-carbon infrastructure services. ([bp.com](https://www.bp.com/en_us/united-states/home/what-we-do/production-and-operations/archaea-energy.html?utm_source=openai)) Geographically, Archaea was primarily a U.S. business, with operating sites across multiple domestic markets rather than a concentrated single-region footprint. Its facilities included landfill-gas-to-RNG plants and anaerobic digester projects, which broadened its feedstock base and customer relationships. That national presence made it one of the more visible pure-play RNG platforms in the North American energy transition space.

More recently, bp has continued to highlight Archaea as a growth engine, including the start-up of several new RNG plants in 2024. For investors, the key point is that Archaea Energy is no longer an independent listed company; it is now an integrated bioenergy asset within bp, but its historical profile remains relevant for understanding the U.S. RNG market and bp’s low-carbon portfolio.
